Those little boxes are all boxes there are (except for prolog).
BTW, downvotes are as meaningless as i--.
Yeah! How about if I kill myself would you pay attention to that? Someone important just did thAt so people like you would give a damn. What does that tells us about the world we live in?
1st ¶: surely you've never been in the situation where you didn't have a parent to pay your rent or daily needed meals. Prove than and then you'll have the right to question how others make their money,
2nd ¶: your friend loves her, and she helps him to lift the weight. Who are you to question that?
3rd ¶: thank god your parents are such great persons.
The guy killed himself for something greater then you. So what are you standing for anyway?
As far from as I see you're just saying a bunch of words instead of doing something meaningful like he did.
Man up or shut up.
1) imperative programming
2) functional programming
3) OOP
4) etc programming
They're jus programming paradigms. Take what you need and get the job done. Anything else is just a buzzword.
Really simple. They need to pay their bills.
I'm sure your frinds rather be working for some project that would make the world better (hey Linux, I'm at you!:) But, still, they have to pay bills.
That's life. Don't like it? Change it.
Hey Bill Gates! Fix what Aron Swartz was fighting for.

He commented in so high level that debunking his comment would miss the point. That beig said, programming languages sucks.
Maybe I'm too drunk instead of being just high (blame Italy for that [can't get properly high here]). But I really think programming languages tare way to messy to accomplish anything useful without getting in our own way. I mean, what if instead of proving a point our real goal was just to be really effective? I think that would shift the state of things a tiny bit.
But who am I beyond just a drunk programmer?
The best answer to this is... Who cares anyway?
PS: In the end if this proves to be something user FB will buy it and then we'll have a change in the user terms, and... You get e idea.
Your statement is wrong is so many levels that's quite easy to tear it apart. Let's start by the meaning of the word progress. The second definition of the Ofxford Dictionary states: advance or development toward better, more complete, or more modern condition. According to that, in order to have progress made you've got to start somewhere. Another word for that would be engineering.
Anyway, I'd say researching a F1 engine is a great start point to progress towards the development of a newer rocket engine. Kudos to these guys!
Affirming that is essentially the same as saying that both platforms achieved their respective market shares by accident. However, I understand your point. Linux is a great infrastructure OS, and investing resources in anything other than that is pure waste.
What you call unsolicited advice in fact is part of a process to make the world a better place. You see something wrong and right it. Tell the world about, and hope to make a dent I the universe. That's actually a very good way of inflicting change. Because even if you don't dent it, at least you're getting better in the process.
Platform lock is a very efficient way of achieving a profitable business. I imagine they have some experience with this model.
I don't know why they don't do this to MPAA and whatnot.
Failure? I can't see they failing in the long run. They have a monopoly in mind share and bundles with virtually all new laptops (apart from Macs and some Ubuntu machines).
They took this route with Xbox and all went well in the end. Secret, keep iterating the damn product.
Even after all those delays and teething issues the Dreamliner was passed under a very compressed schedule, said Mann. "And there was an electrical failure and an emergency landing during the test-flight programme," he said. "That was blamed on a 'foreign object'."The whole aircraft apparently. And there lies the solution to this riddle. Boeing went too far outsourcing engineering. Is Boeing trying to copy Airbus, and If so, why?
I guess this should help disabling. But I can't confirm as I'm not near my Mac test this.
sudo launchctl -w com.apple.LaunchServices.QuarantineEvents[.plist]
I figure won't be sending your resume. Your loss ;)
Give 'em beer or pot, and a spec. :)
PS: I'll be hiring this year; if you don't have anything against what's written here send me your resume (email on profile).
Geez! Haven't you learned manners from your parents? Here's how it goes...
In face of all the time and effort you've voluntarily put into this research, I hereby thank you.
Easy. Isn't it?
I'd like to add another item to your list, tap to zoom. Why some webdevs disable this feature? If I can't tap to zoom I usually do one of these two things: open the reader or leave.
Looks neat. Thanks for this!
How much do they charge for a meaningful reply for him?
No wonder, the button was way too small. I was used to click it a lot, and I still miss it today. But before hitting the reply button I googled and found this extension [0]. I'm happy again.
BTW, hey Don I love your writings. Please keep writing and posting. Thanks for WebKit too!

Good video. But they just forgot to place a little orange squared logo at 2:15 :)
No I didn't. The naming conventions for this instruction set are a bit of a mess [0], with every company trying to stick their brand in the middle of it. No wonder people get confused on this. Thanks for pointing that out.

I'd say common sense. That was the first thing I though when I read the title.
